I have two friends who are into martial arts (and are ninjas in training :D), I referenced this from their Facebook photos.
The lady at the bottom is referenced from Bouguereau's "Bathers".

Slowly getting there... at least I don't look 20 kilos fatter like on the last one. I think the lips are ruining the likeness, but I just couldn't make it better.

I also did some Caravaggio heads for my "50 heads challenge" and here are two that turned out decent:

Drew this today while I was at my parents' place. I left it there so here's a rather noisy photo.

Graphite pencils on A4 paper.
My parents loved it. They love when I'm drawing something dull and uncreative, as opposed to bloody and gory things I'm usually drawing.
On a side note, my CAPTCHA wasn't working so if you tried to leave a comment, I'm sorry about the inconvenience. Thanks to Slaven who let me know about this issue! :)

Yesterday my boyfriend posed for me for the first time, and hopefully not the last, although he didn't find this pose comfortable enough :P

Oil pastel on black paper.
I doubt I'll work in oil pastel ever again. I gave it a few tries and even though this result is acceptable, I don't like working in this media at all - it doesn't blend easily, and it's hard to create any kind of texture that is not.. pastel texture.
